Safe hospital experience update from Memorial Health

Savannah, Georgia – Memorial Health is and has always been a safe place to get medical care. Now, as we move forward and re-open services, we are taking unprecedented precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and visitors.

Our safety plan touches every part of the hospital, and it starts before a patient or visitor enters the door. Our enhanced protections include:

Screening everyone for symptoms before they can enter the hospital

Performing temperature checks on all patients, visitors, team members and physicians

Giving everyone a mask before they enter the hospital and requiring them to wear it

Limiting visitors

Social distancing is required at all times

Frequently disinfecting all surfaces in every area

In addition, we follow strict infection prevention guidelines in our emergency rooms and operating rooms; each room is cleaned thoroughly after each patient and procedure. Our teams also have the necessary Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and supplies needed to keep themselves and you safe.

COVID-19 patients and suspected COVID-19 patients are cared for in a dedicated area by the same staff, and not throughout the hospital.

For the convenience of our patients and visitors, these entrances are now open at Memorial Health:
